photography is all about finding great light... and wow! we found some at valerie's home right before she married christopher! i loved how she looked just standing in her living room with her garter on her arm, righ tbefore we went to the green room... just look at the light!
and the green room! Valerie's mom, Donna is really has quite an eye for colour - i just LOVE the palettes that she chose for her home - and the LIGHT! i just love when the light allows for great 'catches' - like Valerie slipping on her garter... what gorgeous legs!
and what a stunning bride!
light, light, LIGHT! it's all about light! sometimes a challenge here in pittbsurgh, but with the right combo of window light and the subject just the right angle and distance from a window, you can get a fabulous result! (it does help to have a beautiful bride
) oh! how i love a cathedral veil!!
after the ceremony we we went to my favorite street! i had a vision for the bridal party, and i must say that the shade of the bridesmaids dresses was perfect against the green of the trees. this street is really gorgeous with the enormous tress, and while dodging the cars, we were able come up with this...
we didn't take a long time for photos, but they really flowed! i adore this little series. so FRESH! i don't think i ever did this before on a wedding day... how sassy is Valerie?! and isn't Christopher a doll?!
valerie chose bethel bakery to create this fabulous cake! (i think this is becoming my 'signature' cake shot.) i really love the little details of this cake - don't you? and mango filling... mmmmmmmmmmmm!!! and the flowers? reed and petals.
the reception at the airport Double Tree was so much fun, thanks to Kelli Burns, the music entertainment director at 3 rivers entertainment in pittsburgh. she was fantastic!
after this intro, take 5 minutes, and check out the moving pictures - it took me along time to narrow this one down. beautiful bride, handsome groom and that fabulous light! (don't forget to adjust your sound!)

Wow, Robin, fantastic photography!! Beautiful images. I just adore the second shot of the bride from behind ... love the bright light, the colors, the posing, the composition! The three following pics of Valerie are equally lovely, but especially the one on the sofa and her next to the window. Your abilities are emphasized so well in this collection. You are a wonderful photographer, and your skills and image-making inspire me!!
i just love the lighting in each picture... great work!!!
